Is Technology All That Bad?
I have never been too keen on computers and technology, I have always preferred to work with people, to travel, to see new faces every day, instead of seeing the computer screen, and sitting in front of a desk. But nowadays technology has become vital in all areas, so there is no escape from it, whether you like it or not.
All these changed some time ago, when our company decided that we need something to help us organize our job. We had already been given a laptop and a company phone, and now we got a small gadget whose function I had difficulties in understanding. I have always been forced to organize my time because I had so many things to do, so this little device seemed useless to me.
They showed us how to use it, and they told us it was necessary to note everything down in it, from contacts to appointments. For some, that was easy, but for me, it was a chore, at least until I understood how it worked. Everything seemed simple enough, from that point on. Because I had so many things to do each day, I sometimes forgot to charge it, but I was lucky to find a car charger for it.
That’s how I ended up with the  hp ipaq 211 enterprise handheld , the device that did it all. The company checked them periodically, and everything we did had to be put into the HP PDA. People started working extra hard, due to these small devices. Since I was already working quite hard, this didn’t affect me.
Actually, this PDA has changed something. My bosses took notice of the hard work I have always done for the company, so I got a promotion. That was something I owe to my iPAQ, just as my new car is owed to it, too.
